BOM causing crash
BOM causing crash
(OP)
We just switched to 2005 about a month ago and this issue started this week, so I'm not sure if this is related or not.
I created an assembly drawing in 2004 and it had a BOM in it, everything was fine. I went to update the assembly, opened up the drawing in 2005 (SP 0.1) and it crashes. Thru fustration, I recreated the drawing inserted the BOM, saved & closed it. When I open it up again, it crashes. As long as I don't insert a BOM, its fine.
I then made another small assembly and the outcome is the same. I've reinstalled SWX, contacted my VAR and our IT dept, yet no one has a solution. Anyone out there have a suggestion
Thanks
Jeff

Other machines can open the drawing with the BOM after I created it.

If it's just Excel, try repairing your MS Office installation also.
What software package do you use to clean the registry? A manual search will not always find all that needs to be found!!!
RE: BOM causing crash
It only happens with the excel BOM. I will pass the MS Office info onto the IT department and get them to repair it and let you know.

They have 30 day trial downloads of various products, so you can choose the one which best suits you.
A word of caution ... use these tools sparingly & wisely, even though they have a built in "restore" function, you can create quite a mess if not careful.

I was assured that this fix is going to be implemented in SP1.0 that is to be released before the end of the year.
Lesson learned: Create a brand new assembly, with brand new parts for some tests!
Thanks eveyone
